If numb hands wake you every night or your wrist hurts, identifying the cause is where treatment begins.
It is easy to assume hand numbness is caused by poor circulation, but in reality it is often due to carpal tunnel syndrome, where a nerve is compressed at the wrist, to tendon inflammation, or to nerve symptoms coming down from the neck.
In particular, waking at night because your hands are numb, severe pain when moving the wrist, and fingers that catch or will not straighten can each require a different treatment depending on the cause. Checking the extent of the numbness, where the pain appears, and how it changes with movement helps distinguish the cause of hand numbness and wrist pain.
At Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic, care is provided by Dr. Sang-beom Kim, Director, a sports medicine specialist certified by the Korean Society of Sports Medicine and an instructor of the Korean Orthopaedic Ultrasound Society. When needed, neuromusculoskeletal ultrasound is used to assess wrist and finger movement along with the condition of the tendons and nerves, and a treatment plan tailored to your condition is provided.
